hi guys,

i intend to fix 18"x7.5jj to my r33 gts,but wondered if anyone here has done this b4.need to know what they look like if fixed to the car..any picture most welcome..tq

cheers

With an offset of +42 these wheels will sit inside the wheel arches a fair bit

Like barnoon says, spacers might be needed in order for the wheels to fill out the guards.

Personally, I'd be looking for something wider with a lower offset

i would have thought so too..perhaps fix something like this >>> 18 x 8.5 +30, 18 x 9.5 +38

thankz to barnoon n u for the suggestion..

Like Cass and barnoon have stated, that's a fair way off ideal. An offset of +42 is something you'd find on a FWD car, so aim for something around +25 too +35 depending on the width of the wheel.

There are heaps of offset calculators on different wheel websites. There are even iPhone/iPod and iPad apps for it.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
